The learning environment can make a sudden shift, be it from a student’s mood or a serious electrical problem. However, nothing else can speedily disrupt the learning environment in a classroom as when a teacher is unaware of stepping on the toes of a student’s cultural views. A teacher must therefore be aware of the areas of...  [Read more]

Teachers are responsible for enforcing rules, managing negative behavior appropriately, encouraging and motivating students, implementing interesting and engaging topics and activities, eliciting the target language and building team work among the students.

Group Dynamics I have always been fascinated by social dynamics and how they affect groups in personal and professional contexts. A teacher must be constantly aware of group dynamics while teaching. The teacher is not, however, merely exporting language information-grammatical structures, vocabulary, etc-but also acts in a role model capacity. This translates into how the teacher presents materials and engages the class. While researching for this essay, I stumbled across an article titled, Teacher Identity as Pedagogy: Towards a Field-Internal Conceptualisation in Bilingual and Second Language Education. The article explores using the teacher’s personal identity as a ‘field-internal’ teaching tool, as a way to teach students a language, but also excite collaborative skills in...  [Read more]

There are many categories of nouns and students should try to learn some of these to avoid grammatical errors in their speaking and writing.  [Read more]

Conditionals are statements that usually have \"if\" or \"when\" in them and require something to happen before another action can take place. Reported speech is when one relays something that someone else had said, either in the present or in the past. That being said, in everyday English, the grammar of reported speech is much less stringent. For instance, if a woman said: 'I want to sing on Friday,' it would be fine to say \"She said she wants...  [Read more]

He was incredibly agitated, had a HORRIBLE attitude, pretty much bullied the students and really had no concern at ALL in explaining anything in a proper fashion.

For the TESOL teacher the countries that comprise the bulk of the Middle East include Dubai and the rest of the UAE, Bahrain, Israel, Palestine, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen. As a region it has many stark contrasts. The oil-rich states, such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE, offer generous salaries, and very pleasant living facilities. At the other end of the scale Palestine, on account of its difficulties, attracts few TESOL teachers. Even within the oil-rich states one can find considerable contrast. For example, Qatar is engaged in a programme of rigorous westernisation - including the free availability of alcohol; however, in Saudi Arabia, one is dealing with very much more an Islamic state. In general TESOL teachers report of the region that the salaries...  [Read more]

  http://www.teflonline.net In this video we look at a TESOL teaching idea for the past continuous tense. For this activity students are put into groups and are handed pictures of people doing different activities. The pictures are placed upside down in a pile and the students take it in turns to turn them over. When they have turned over a card they must make a past continuous sentence based on the picture they have. For example: If they turn over a picture of a woman swimming they would say: She was swimming yesterday. For more advanced students this activity can be used to compare past continuous and past simple. For example: While I was doing the washing up, I broke three plates. Becoming a TESOL teacher enables you to travel the world experiencing new cultures while...  [Read more]
